wsman can admittedly be a bit complex with regard to running commands. For example, to power on and off an AMT-capable laptop using wsman, one can run the following command:
test@test-Latitude-6430U:~$ wsman invoke -a RequestPowerStateChange -J request.xml http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim- schema/2/CIM_PowerManagementService?SystemCreationClassName="CIM_ComputerSystem",SystemName="Intel(r) AMT",CreationClassName="CIM_PowerManagementService",Name="Intel(r) AMT Power Management Service" --port 16992 -h 10.9.164.246 --username admin -p "passw0rd" -V -v ...In all of the above, I also pointed to an xml file that contained some "ManagedElement" information that's apparently required to make the "RequestPowerStateChange" command work. I'll attach the xml file, too. To change the power states, change the PowerState parameter to whatever you need. 2 == on, 8 == off, 5 == reboot. Information on how to construct a command can be found here as a guide (two of these are Dell server-centric but can provide help with how to enumerate the right classes, etc. to build a command): http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/4374 .how-to-build-and-execute-wsman-method-commands.aspx http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/extras/m/white_papers/20206146.aspx http://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide/default.htm?turl=WordDocuments%2Fchangesystempowerstate.htm As you can see, making your own commands can be a bit of an exercise. Fortunately, there are somewhat easier ways to harness wsman without having to perform all of the work above. Dell, for example, has created an extensive set of scripts for PowerEdge to make wsman a lot more user- friendly. There is also an API on that page for those that want to write their own scripts: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/1981 .scripting-the-dell-lifecycle-controller.aspx ** Attachment added: "wsman-amt-request.xml" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1068766/+attachment/3921634/+files/wsman-amt-request.xml -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068766 Title: [needs-packaging] wsmancli command line tool for openwsman To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell-poweredge/+bug/1068766/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
